The first Cyprus International Food Festival took place in 2016 in Nicosia, and from 2017 will take place on the Molos Promenade, Limassol. CIFF strives to showcase the diverse kitchens in Cyprus – a crossroad of cultures from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Europe and with links to the Far East.

The Cyprus International Food Festival takes place over 2 days, on 23 and 24 September 2017 from 4pm until late in the evening. The spectacular views of the sea from the Molos Area Boardwalk provide an idea backdrop, for tasting the many differing cuisines in the form of street food while sampling both local and international wineries.

There are a few organisations in Cyprus, me being one of them, who believe that music, art and culture is an essential part of our well-being and necessary even under the most dire economic circumstances. In fact, there are so many reports, surveys and statistics from around the world which show that cultural and creative industries drive sustainable development and create job opportunities.

So why, does the Cyprus Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture not have any sort of long-term fiscal planning or even a plan about the future of the cultural sector?

The community of Cyprus International Food Festival is a diverse and passionate group of professionals dedicated to great food, fresh ingredients, amazing wines, beers and cocktails, and of course, Cyprus! It’s an honour for us to work with the chefs, producers, beverage professionals, artists and experts who share their distinct personalities that inspire the Cyprus International Food Festival.
